Can a kidney transplant patient marry and have sex?

Question
My friend had a kidney transplantation 2 years ago ? He is planning to get married soon. I would like to know whether his health condition would affect his children too (i.e. will his next generation have kidney failure too)? Would he have any problems in sexual intercourse?

Your friend can surely get married provided his kidney function is good (s.creatinine less than 2 mg/dl and he is on least amount of immunosuppression drugs has not had a rejection in last 6 months or so. He should have no problems with sexual intercourse if the above conditions I mentioned are met. He could father children as well. There is no increased chance of his children being affected by kidney transplant. I hope his orginal kidney disease causing kidney failure for which he received transplant was not of genetic or hereditary nature.
